Thank you for all the input, there was no strainer on the stall that I bought it from so I presume its long gone.
It's one of those things that's so tacky its great and it's not surprising that people collect these!
Czech does seem the right origin although my searching has turned up no maker yet.

Yours is complete, I was trying to show how shaker collectors look at these items. Some of the period glass shakers have grooves or cut outs in the lid to carry out the straining function, some don't. Your shaker is still complete though, you strain by holding the lid in at a jaunty angle, sorry if I led you to believe yours was missing a part.

When I see fish in this sort of design, they always remind me of the fish depicted in Disney's Fantasia in the Tchaikowsky Arabian Dance from the Nutcracker Suite.
The film was made in 1940.

Earth without art is just eh.
